Image generating device, process for switching between scenes presented for the imaging device, computer-readable recording medium with a program for switching between scenes presented and video game device

摘要

An image creating apparatus selectively displays a plurality of scenes on a display unit (2). The image creating apparatus includes an image-data storage unit (40) including at least three data storage areas in each of which image data of one frame on the display unit (2) are stored, a picture-signal processing unit (11) for generating the image data of one frame and for cyclically storing the generated data in the data storage areas, an image output unit (22) for cyclically reading and successively outputting the image data stored in the data storage areas, a switching-designation unit (62) for outputting a signal for designating the switching of each scene displayed on the display unit (2), and a processing-control unit (63) for switching the scene being displayed on the display unit (2) from an old scene to a new scene when the switching-designation signal is output. The processing-control unit (63) includes an old-scene holding unit (65) for holding the image data of the old scene in any one of the data storage areas in the image-data storage unit (40), and an instruction-controlling unit (66) for controlling the picture-signal processing unit (11) to use the images of the old and new scenes to generate image data and to cyclically store the generated data in the other data storage areas.
